My Endo arrived today and it's just terrible. The paint app is the worst I have ever seen on anything, ever. It is no where near what Darb and others have. It's like a entirely different production run. As for the paint, it's super dark. I thought it was going to be more bright than not and that was why the delay for so long. Darbs looks great but again, mine looks like a different production run. I think it's darker than the original legacy paint.
Areas that are supposed to be chrome are hit with black or grey. I was hoping for museum touch, no weathering which I can only assume what this is meant to be.
Mine arrived with a broken toe. I don't know how that's possible. The packaging seemed sufficient.
I'm so very sorry for CC. They got really screwed on this, and now us. I originally wanted to just contact CC about this and keep it off the forum, but I said I would post my reviews whether they are good or critical, and I decided to stick to my word...some people will use my review to further their vendetta, but it is my hope everyone else understands, especially Paul. If not for the broken toe, I would repaint this and be happy. But now, I don't know. I already broke my gun on my 1/4 arnold with extremely little effort and had to glue to fix it. Now the toe here which I am positive I didn't break while lifting the protective layers up to reveal the contents. These statues sure are fragile.
I can post more pictures, but I just dislike what I received so much that I took the one pic and put my phone down. Right now I am debating gluing the toe back or contacting CC about it. Hate to ship it back over a broken toe. On the other hand, it cost me $500. I don't know if I want a broken toe for $500 lol. If I can convinced myself it's a battle damaged terminator then it'll be no problem
Ok I made myself take one more pic. It's supposed to be larger res but tinypic is resizing my pictures...it's an ok look at details.
Ok some more....I can't place my endo on the stand or else I'll break it's leg. It won't fit. If I make it fit, that leg will be twisted around so very much...I am already 'making it fit' by placing the back of the foot into the hole. I feel they are misaligned big time but i may be totally wrong.
And finally, I left it as it was enough to stand on it's own power to take a picture with my high powered flashlight, just to be able to get it to shine chrome...
Really, I'm not angry about this. It's a simple contact with CC to solve it. I'm angry that people will use my review to trash CC. But it wasn't right to hide this. You have to take the bad with the good. This is why you go Toynami or not at all
